[PATCH] Remove deprecated "nv" driver from autoconfiguration list

Nvidia hardware will now default to "vesa" until an xorg.conf file is
created to set it to "nv", "nvidia", or "nouveau".
We've had reports of displays that fail to autoconfigure because
Xorg tries to use "nv", but nv fails when DisplayPort is in use.
Given nvidia's recent announcement deprecating the nv driver,
and that nv will never support DisplayPort, the vesa driver
seems a safer default for autoconfiguration than nv.
